Clinical profile and outcome of ocular manifestation in Marfans syndrome in India.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeMarfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disorder associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Presently, well-documented information on this condition is not available in India.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, we recruited patients with clinically diagnosed MFS who presented to the outpatient department using revised Ghent nosology. We retrieved complete ophthalmic information, including vision, anterior and posterior segments, exported from electronic medical records, and relevant investigations, surgical details, and follow-up data were obtained in a specific, pretested format.
resultsOur cohort consisted of 86 eyes of 43 patients and had a male preponderance. The prevalence was 20.5 per 100,000 individuals. The mean age of the patients was 23.9 years. All eyes were treated either optically with refraction or surgically using lensectomy and vitrectomy with suture supported scleral fixated intraocular lens (IOL), which significantly affected the visual outcome (P = 0.000).
conclusionAlthough considered a rare disease, MFS is commonly found in the ophthalmological setting. Refraction and surgery (lensectomy with scleral fixated IOL) may improve the vision significantly.
